The affirmative thesis is that we must prioritize nature over the interests of human society. When there is a conflict between nature and humans’ current interests, this proves that humans are in the wrong. Nature is the moral foundation of human life, so when our interests conflict with nature, we have to adjust and return to nature.

1)  All knowledge and thought are based in the existence of nature. In order to derive human knowledge, we must prioritize nature.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo. Nature. Boston: Beacon, 1985. Print.
In like manner...parts of itself.

2) The expression of knowledge through language requires nature.
Emerson 3, Ralph Waldo. Nature. Boston: Beacon, 1985. Print.

1. Words are signs...all men relish.

3) Nature offers the fundamental source of beauty.
Emerson 4, Ralph Waldo. Nature. Boston: Beacon, 1985. Print.
The ancient Greeks...cause of Nature

4) We require nature to make moral judgments because it is the only thing not shaped by humans.
Emerson 5, Ralph Waldo. Nature. Boston: Beacon, 1985. Print.
The world proceeds...sight of men.
